    My Self + Family premium decreases by $19.68 starting the first pay period in January 2016. I do not know about yours.

    You CAN compare 2016 FEHB plans now on the OPM website here:

    My premium went up. But I understood that was how the law was set up to work. Liberals get some of Conservatives' money.

    My premium went up. BCBS Basic + Medicare, I'm switching from Self and Family to Self plus One, thinking that might save a little money, I was right my new Premium is $6.17 a month less than Self and Family But up $28 a month more than the 2015 premium. Something is wrong here?

    And one more reminder- If you are eligible for FEHB, you may also be eligible for a FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT (FSA Account)- to use PRE-TAX DOLLARS FOR YOUR MEDICAL EXPENSES, deductables, prescription co-pays, etc.


    But you have to sign up for an FSA account every year- it is NOT automatic like FEHB carryover- you have to choose a new dollar amount EACH OPEN SEASON, which is RIGHT NOW.


    I almost forgot this year- until I had to go on-line this morning to file a co-pay receipt, and it reminded me that this is open season.

    See https://www.fsafeds.com

    Good luck!
